Steam Beta Branch: Steam Beta Update
Steam Version: 1716072097
Steam Client Build Date: Sat, May 18 14:33 UTC -08:00
Steam Web Build Date: Sat, May 18 16:25 UTC -08:00
Steam API Version: SteamClient021
any update on this?
i have the same issue
Also running into this issue.
KDE Plasma 6.2.5 on Linux 6.6.72-1-lts (Arch Linux)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
lsusb | grep -i "valve" > usb.txt
lspci
Happening on version 2.8.8 (1733790165) and version 2.9.5 (1736284931)
Same here.
Arch x86_64
Gnome Wayland (Although the same thing happens on x11)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
For me, this occurs whenever a proton VR game crashes; SteamVR will then show the error until the system is fully restarted (killing all wine processes and restarting steam has no effect)
This started happening to me as well, regardless of wether i start steamvr on its own or with ALVR. i cant recall any changes ive made to my arch install that would cause any issue with steamvr, but here we are
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.13.6-arch1-1
DE: Plasma 6.3.3 [KF 6.11.0] [Qt 6.8.2] (wayland)
WM: kwin_wayland_wr
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (16) @ 3.6GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
I got this error, I recommend looking for a rogue vrserver process, e.g. using ps -aux | grep vrserver and killing it if one exists, that fixed it for me.

Interesting, i'll check if this works next time it crashes

I can confirm this works!
I'm about to test if killing vrserver also works for me!
Works for me!
`It seems like SteamVR isn't cleaning up after itself, after it crashes. Maybe it's an issue with the way SteamVR processes are labeled I'm not a 100% sure. But maybe it's something different compared to the way steam handles itself on SteamOS compared to standard arch. On a standard Steam Deck It does appear to actually clean up after itself if it crashes. I really do think it is dependent on situation by situation, however.
I too have the same issue

Same Issue on latest Manjaro.
This fix seems to work.
same issue on debian 13 with nvidia
(i'm new here, how do i fix this?)
latest Steam VR has this regression again.
Nothing extracted yet.
